Scan Type: This option determines what aspect of the files will be compared in the duplicate scan. The nature of the duplicate scan varies greatly depending on what you select for this option.

- Filename: Every song will have its filename split into words, and then every word will be compared to compute a matching percentage. If this percentage is higher or equal to the - Filter Hardness (see below for more details), dupeGuru will consider the 2 songs duplicates.
- Filename - Fields: Like Filename, except that once filename have been split into words, these words are then grouped into fields. The field separator is " - ". The final matching - percentage will be the lowest matching percentage among the fields. Thus, "An Artist - The Title" and "An Artist - Other Title" would have a matching percentage of 50 (With a -Filename scan, it would be 75).
- Filename - Fields (No Order): Like Filename - Fields, except that field order doesn't matter. For example, "An Artist - The Title" and "The Title - An Artist" would have a matching percentage of 100 instead of 0.
- Tags: This method reads the tag (metadata) of every song and compare their fields. This method, like the Filename - Fields, considers the lowest matching field as its final matching percentage.
- Content: This scan method use the actual content of the songs to determine which are duplicates. For 2 songs to match with this method, they must have the exact same content.
- Audio Content: Same as content, but only the audio content is compared (without metadata).
